I think i need a bigger tank cuss i have a 29 gallon with 3 bp 's and 1 black convict the two small bp 's are 3 inches both the big one is 41/2.Heres there health status the big one has long pretty spotless fins with nice smooth running gills that never stop running good.The two little ones are the same just they dont stick out there fins as much and they dont seem to like swimming when i put my hand in the little ones use it as a bed to rest in,And the big one bites my hand looking for food(witch the little cute bp 's do to:)AWWW)Heres the fun part the big one will jump 6 inches into the air to grab food from my hand!But even though they seem healthy and tame i think they dont have enough room:(

Small Tanks

Personally I would go with a min of a 55 gallon, if you plan to add any more fish try a 75 gallon. Also if you do plan to add more fish research first. Find out how big they grow, what are suitable tank mates, and feeding needs. From personal experience I found that it is a really good idea to research on the fish before making the decision to buy that "cute" little fish. By the way would it be possible for you to get a video of feeding time, it would be cool to see.
